Zwei kämpfende Löwen und zwei kämpfende Bären 

This drawing, "Zwei kämpfende Löwen und zwei kämpfende Bären," by Johann Ludwig von Pfeiff, depicts a dynamic scene of two pairs of animals locked in battle. The artist uses delicate red chalk lines to capture the fierce expressions and powerful musculature of the lions and bears, emphasizing the dramatic tension of the fight. Pfeiff's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the fur and musculature, creates a sense of realism, capturing the raw energy of the struggle. While the drawing lacks a specific date, its style suggests it was likely created during the 18th century, reflecting the growing interest in naturalism and scientific observation of the natural world. This artwork, now held in the Städel Museum, provides a fascinating glimpse into the artistic style and scientific sensibilities of the era.
